Except Education describes what really happens inside of American public high schools. In these pages are the tales of the lawyers who “advocate” for students and threaten to sue any teacher who does not comply. There are also the lost autistic souls who are led from meeting to meeting by guilty parents; there are the young Americans who are chained by behavior contracts and doped up by prescription medicine – and then ignored roundly by their parents. Fights, rapes, drugs, and stories of ordinary madness are countered by the frustration of educators stuck in terribly tedious, horribly political situations that sap their will to do one of the most noble things on the face of the earth: teach the young. After reading this book, parents will wonder what exactly is going on in their children’s schools, and aspiring teachers may well think twice about their career choice.
